Swirly Mats: CVI
$155.00
Swirly Mats: CVI is a kit of durable, non-toxic mats made for children with cortical visual impairment (CVI), a brain-based form of vision difficulty. It combines what used to be two separate sets, Swirly Mats CVI and CVI II, into one. You can use the mats on their own or with the APH LED Light Box or LED Mini-Lite Box. The light boxes are sold separately, and picking activities and a starting point is easier with a vision professional's input.

CVI Book Builder Kit
$321.00
The CVI Book Builder Kit lets parents and teachers make custom books for a child with Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), a vision difference caused by how the brain processes what the eyes see. Instead of buying a fixed book, you build one around the child's own needs. That matters because children with CVI often respond to very specific kinds of visual input. This is a make-it-yourself kit, so you will need to decide what goes into each page. Getting that right is easier with guidance from a vision professional who knows the child.

CVI Complexity Sequences App
$78.54
The CVI Complexity Sequences App is an iPad-style learning tool built around ten sets of target images, used to build visual learning for children who have cortical visual impairment (CVI), a brain-based form of vision difference. The image sets are arranged in sequences of increasing visual complexity, so the child's viewing can be built up step by step rather than all at once. It's meant to be used with a child, not handed over to run on its own. A teacher of students with visual impairments, a vision specialist, or a therapist who knows the child's CVI profile can choose which sets and steps fit that child, and that choice is what makes the app useful.

Cortical Visual Impairment: Advanced Principles
$45.95
This book is a follow-up to APH's earlier CVI text on assessment and intervention. It goes deeper into topics like literacy, social skills, and orientation and mobility (O&M, which is learning to travel safely) for students with CVI. It also covers students who have CVI along with other disabilities, such as complex communication needs and hearing loss. The authors look at a student's whole day, including the tasks, interactions, and places they meet, to show how each can be evaluated and adapted to build visual skills. It's written for teachers and other professionals, and it makes the most sense if you already know the basics of CVI. It comes as a made-to-order print book or a digital file; the digital version needs an EPUB reader.

The light box is only the base of the setup, so choosing materials and positioning it well for a particular student usually works best with input from a teacher of students with visual impairments.

It's designed for elementary students with low vision or CVI (cortical visual impairment), and it works best when a teacher or vision professional guides the lessons.
